Another brain fart...

With a suppressor, I'd get a wooden dowel as close to caliber size as I could find, one that would easily slide into the bore. I'd check bore/bayonet alighnemt between each shot. It wouldn't need to be more than 18" or so, just enough to index in the bore and extend over the bayonet.

Without a suppresssor, I can pretty well eyeball it. A big bulge on the end of the barrel would make that much harder, maybe impossible for any precision.

And, bayonet to bore alignment is essential to: (1) not blow up the bayonet and (2) miss recording the data. There is some leeway, but not a lot.

Edited to add, with the suppressor, the dowel may have to be longer, long enough to pass thru the suppressor and into the barrel far enough to accurately establish bore axis and long enough to extend over the bayonet. 18" would probably be long enough without a suppressor. One would probably have to add suppresssor length for the dowel to work.
